Mayer & Cie. as an employer

We value lasting relationships: as an employer, as a manufacturer and as a business partner.

“Success through Innovation: Traditionally one Step Ahead.” That is our guiding principle. It has been a constant throughout the company’s history for over a century. True to this motto we are constantly taking our machines and our technologies forward – and ourselves too. As an owner-managed family firm we are always focussed on long-term, sustainable success.

Mayer & Cie. is a market and technology leader in circular knitting. As a premium provider we supply the upper to midrange market segment. Our brand is highly trusted all over the world because it stands for durable, high-value, reliable products.
